Story

Vegetables, greens and herbs have been a staple of human food since civilization. Presently with the aggressive infrastructure building of the country, the cultivation and quality of these products is taking a beating. Secondly, the procedures in use are obsolete in the current scheme of things and expensive , space and resources wise. The amazing product of human evolution and educated thought available to contain this grey area is hydroponics. A cultivation method which uses 20-30% of the erstwhile used resources, with the added benefit of pesticide free and super clean produce. The wonder of the process is the fact that organic soil and foul odours , the need for fertilizer, weeding and insects etc that have relegated growing anything to the farmer or mali until now, will be passé. The growing areas can double as showpieces among the living space. They have life too and what better than to have your life givers grow in your care and as healthy as you wish. We are committed to bringing this boon to urban India vide smart growing consoles and spaces that can be used for a variety of consumptive cultivation needs. The units could be sold for as little as Rs 10,000 for a base model of size roughly 4x2 feet having two or three trays for use in very small homes or flats. These can be scaled up as per individual need and go up to small commercial sheds or even mega farms as will be the future and response. An investment of Rs.9 lac will be required for the establishment of a pilot project manufacturing facility and in a time frame of 6-9 months we will be able to source all the requirements of hardware, components and electronics and provide ten units for trials and perusal. Our commitment to bringing this to reality is not fuelled by monetary desire but the genuine love for science. The quality of products and build quality etc will the best possible and environment friendly while also maximizing use of recycled materials. We hope to be assisted in this honorable endeavor and promise to give it our best if given this chance to start.
